Hello all.
Just got back from a TV thing that will be aired in Ireland sometime in May (I'll let you know when it's on so you can YouTube my awesomeness). It's been a long, amusing day, and all I want to do is relax, watch some TV, and generally chill out, so I'll be announcing the title of Book 7 tomorrow instead of today. Hope you understand.
As many of you know by now, every three books have a certain motif when it comes to titles. For instance, the middle trilogy was short, sharp and to the point. The final trilogy (sob) will have a completely different approach, as exemplified by the Greatest Title Ever Thought Up. I'm still writing the thing, and the deadline is fast approaching, so from tomorrow on it's full speed ahead. I only hope that the finished book lives up to what I'm calling it. Oh, I was totally joking about waiting until tomorrow to announce this, by the way. Sorry about that. Heh.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the final days of August of this year, the new Skulduggery Pleasant masterpiece will be released, and it will be called...
Skulduggery Pleasant: Kingdom Of The Wicked.

«Oldest ‹Older 4201 – 4400 of 4831 Newer› Newest»*looks at Mist* don't make me think about that.
*faces Dylan and drives Dao into his leg*
Don't mess with me.
*shadows strike him to the ground*
Do not. Mess. With. Me.
Sparky and Crucify are one. If Sparky dies, so will you, Crucify.
[Why the hell does Crucify actually play along to the storyline of you creating his existence? That's.. stupid and petty]
I only HAVE purple bananas, Dylan.
-Rises and all wounds heal-
I've unleashed my true name. Fighting me? I'll mess with you all I want. You'll be my puppet. And guess who's pulling the strings.
-Aims thumb at my chest-
*reminds Dylan* Crucify is a girl, in fact. *nods knowingly*
Dylan, she is far more powerful than you.
Yeah, well I didn't exactly know she was a girl. So I stuck with boy. But Sparky has a girl rival.
Chu awesome, Sparky.
You kick her butt. :|
*finally faces Sparky*
You created me, correct.
But a child can live without their parent, and you are such an incredible thinker, that I developed fairly quickly.
New sword, new magic and-
I am taller than you, but I'm also older than you.
And I exist separately to you.
Of course she is, Zathract.
According to you.
*frowns and steps back, nervously*
...What?
*eyes widen*
...You have.
-Steps beside Sparky-
Sparky, don't second-think it. Just kill her.
Dylan, she's stronger than all of us. You'd die if she actually killed people.
*continues watching*
-Turns into particles of light and fades away-
-Appears in treehouse where I can see the fight...thing-
*looks around*
Brb
OH. I get what this is now.
Yeah, you see, Crucify is angry because Sparky didn't enter her for the create-a-character comp, and that's why she's so sad. Sparky, apologise.
Zathract, I respect you. And I listen to you. So, I'll take your word she's stronger than each of us. But not all of us together.
-Jumps down and lands beside Sparky-
You in, Zath, or are you going to watch it with a bucket of popcorn?
And, I am fairly powerful.
*flexes muscles*
*turns and punches Dylan in the gut, suddenly, making him move backwards*
I think I had better go now.
*smiles at everyone and winks at Sparky*
Bye.
*gets enveloped by shadows and vanishes*
Oh, that's seriously what this is about? That's petty.
*waits for Mist*
-Wasn't injured by Crucify-
Yeah. Very disappointing, Crucify.
Yeah, you run, little Arly!
*pales and steps backwards*
*opens mouth to say something, but is too ashamed*
*turns and runs head first into a tree*
*stars explode in front of my eyes and I fall backwards*
*grins* She fears your wrath, Dylan.
Shut up, Eve.
-Helps Sparky up-
She's become a second being from you, which will make it all the more easier to kill her.
Wha...?
*helps Sparky up* Say sorry to the tree now.
*pulls away from Dylan*
I don't deserve you help.
*rolls eyes* Yeah, but you totally deserve mine.
Dylan, can't you see how powerful she is?
You, me, Eve and Zath would struggle to bring her down.
And she's partenered with Nagier, who would flatten the four of us.
-Shakes head at Sparky-
What makes you inferior to Crucify? Seriously. Tell me. Enlighten me with this information.
*shadow walks back*
She's right, you know.
*vanishes again*
No, Sparky. She's a workout.
*frowns* Everyone seems to forget that NO ONE HURT ME.
AT.
ALL.
Now, is our little roleplay part of the Skulduggery multiverse or not?
Oh, Eve. :)
That's because you were cowering behind somewhere we couldn't see.
Damn. Let me think of a dedication.
Thanks for reminding me Eve.
*steps towards her, grips her by both shoulders, picks her up and flings her across grass*
Better?
*smiles at Zathract and leaves again*
-Eve stops midair and simply floats gently to the ground-
-Puts hand down by side-
You're welcome.
*smiles proudly*
Didn't hurt.
*strides in*
Well, well, well.
*smirks darkly*
Probably because you didn't fall face-first into the concrete over there. Because I saved you.
:\
Back!
*looks around*
...Oh...crap...
Oh hello Nagier.
Oh, for crap's sake...
Nagier.. what would happen if I shot you?
Well, let's see. :)
-Shoots with silver pistol-
Eve. The sake of crap? I think there's more things we care for. Like the mysterious Pete.
For Pete's sake!
*puts shadow shield in front of Nagier*
Don't hurt him, or we'll hurt you.
*laughs as the bullet passes through chest*
Firstly, I didn't feel that.
Secondly,
*waits as chest heals*
Well. It didn't do anything either.
*nods*
Crucify.
Oh. My. Goodness.
What????? :P not here by the way...
Not sure why I even said that... :S
bye bye now...
Nagier.
*rolls eyes* I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Lav!
Bye Lav!
*hugs Lav*
I think the bullet hit you. It wasn't a slow-mo one or anything. So, uh, yeah..
*laughs*
Of course it hit me, pickle.
So Crucify has troubles having the knack of arriving in the nick of time. Or maybe he's just slow.. :)
Pretty times.
*sees Sparky hug Lavender*
The emotion. I don't understand it.
Girl.
Crucify is a girl.
The one thing I remember.
*shrugs and punches Dylan, making his nose crunch*
*looks at Crucify* Yeah, you see, you don't understand, BECAUSE YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
*grits teeth*
I hate you. I hate you both.
Zath, e-mail.
I know, Zathract, I know.
*wraps arm around Mist* Look, Misty. They're being nice to each other.
Checking, Sparky.
Speaking of which, Nagier, how are you even here?
Or is it just because I arrived a second too late?
*sends spear of shadow into Eve's leg and chest*
*makes them dissipate and smiles at the large amount of blood leaking out of Eve*
...Gah! I'm here!
*whispers*
Crucify scares me... :S
...I haven't met Nagier before, but I read the comments since I left yesterday...
*shouts*
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS ALREADY ALMOST GOT TO 5000 WHEN IT WAS STILL 3000 YESTERDAY!!!!
*whispers again*
you guys talk to fast... I'm sad that I miss so much...
No!
*leaps forwards at Crucify*
*intercepts and knees Mist hard in the stomach*
*hugs Lav and glares at Crucify*
She scares me.
*looks down at self then smiles up at Crucify* You're attempts to ruin my clothes were astoundingly poor.
I'm wearing red.
*laughs as he falls to the ground and curls up*
Ahahaha. That was pathetic.
*smiles at Nagier*
Thanks.
You're pathetic. Also, this. *sticks middle finger up*
*kicks Zathract in the forehead*
*grips Eve's head and slams it into the ground repeatedly, knocking her out*
Maybe she'll shut up now.
Oi. *grabs Crucify's foot and gnarls on it*
... I have nothing to say when you guys are fighting... so...
*fades into the background*
*whispers*
not here...
*is unconcious*
Nope. That didn't do it.
*pulls Eve and Zath out of the fight*
This is bad...
Uh, thanks, Mist....
?
That means WTF?
*stomps on Eve's head and curses the idiot sitting in front of the computer again*
GET THE DAMN WINDOWS RIGHT.
... I just remembered... Silly me!
*face-palms*
*tries to throw a fireball at Nagier*
Yes Lav?
*is not unconcious any more*
*watches as the fireball dissipates before it reaches*
...Well.
I broke a nail.
Zath, e-mail.
L!
U!
V!
MADONNA!!
Y!
O!
U!
YOU WANNA!!
*takes bow and arrow out of nowhere*
*notches arrow*
*points it at Nagier*
Would you like to have the honer of finding out how well my aim is?
*smiles*
Replied.
*honor
Uh-oh.
Lav.
Better run.
*looks at Lavender*
You annoy me. By all means, fire, but I think you'll be surprised at what happens.
Oh no! You better not fire, Lav! Naggy might get his feelings hurt!
*wraps shadows around Lav and constricts her*
*shoots*
You forget though. My shape-shifting power.
*turns into a hawk and flies out of reach*
Replied.
*dives and scratches Crusify's eyes*
Lav, I told you not to get too close. Crucify has bad, bad breath.
Too late Lavender, gotta be more on the ball next time.
*pulls Lavender closer*
*flies out of reach again*
Lavender is free as a bird, and always will be.
Replied.
oops... comment window closed...
And I was like,
Baby, baby, baby, oooooh,
Like,
baby, baby, baby noooooo...
*pulls arrow from chest and snaps it in half*
*stands there as chest heals*
*faces Eve and punches her forehead with shadows surrounding my fist*
*sends her flying backwards into a wall*
*looks at Nagier* That's getting lame.
Replied.
Oh yeah! Eve!
*stops playing*
*hugs Eve*
thank you! You just reminded me of something!
*climbs out of wall*
*takes out To-Do list*
*ticks off 'get thrown into a wall'*
Reminded you of what, Lav? *hugs back*
*looks at Nagier*
You haven't hurt anyone yet...Is this an improvement or like, constraining it to make a big boom?
The latter.
The latter.
*socks Zathract in the jaw*
Argh!
*falls back and clutches jaw*
Hate...you...
I think he's got no idea what the hell he's doing.
*grins at Nagier*
Great minds.
I know.
*turns to Eve*
You seem to have a weird tenancy to not get annoyed.
*hugs Mist*
*hugs back and glares at Nagier*
Coz you're not annoying. You're just really, really funny. Like a puppy who thinks he's all rough and tough if he barks really loud and hurts everyone's ears.
*nods at Crucify stares at Eve and Zathract*
Why are you doing that?
I replied Zath.
Well, I do hurt people.
*blurs forwards and kicks Eve hard*
Hey!
*whacks Nagier*
Replied.
*leans on Nagier's shoulder*
It confuses me too.
*wags finger* Bad Nagier. You're not getting a treat today.
Replied twice more.
Sorry, not supposed to be here now, so I have to be careful when my mom comes...
I read yesterday's comments from the time I left, and you reminded me of the tune to that song you typed(?) yesterday. the one-
*starts singing*
I don't know-oh-oh-oh where you're going, just get you-note-back home.
*stops singing*
I don't even like censoring the word... so I don't say it, I hum it.
Then I reccommend this book. It's called Hugging For Dummies. Oh, and while you're at it, grab The World For Idiots too.
Replied.
Yeah, I love that song.
*smiles*
me too, it's one of the top 40 sings in America.
Replied.
Twice.
*smiles at lav*
*starts singing church song*
*is still leaning on Nagier's shoulder*
So, Nag, I'm calling you that now, what do you suggest we do now?
Replied.
*grins*
Hurt more, I suppose. Unless you had something else in mind.
*looks at Crucify*
*makes loveheart with hands and makes it a frame for Crucify and Nagier*
I may have had something else in mind.
*turns Nag, making him face me and kisses him*
*breaks off kiss*
That was nice. I reckon we can kill something now.
*nods, unfazed*
Agreed.
*turns back to the group*
Oh yeah. TOTALLLY saw that coming.
*gets embarrassed*
...I'm sorry to have left after I shot Nagier... I'm not good with blog fighting... I don't really fight much... my fingers are so slow when I get panicky...
*nervous chuckle*
...that's why I don't fight.
*turns into a cat and climbs up a tall tree, looking down at everyone*
*stares*
...WHAT?!
C
L
I
C
H

*smiles and tackles Zathract, sending us both to the ground*
*turns back into myself so I can turn into a robin and fly to another branch*
*shrieks, pointing at the couple*
BAD!!! BAAAAAAD!!!!
AWFUL!!!
*is now a robin on another tree*
While Nagier and Crucify are gone... we know about it, we don't like it, and we choose not to talk about it. Like a fart in church. :)
Love is in the air, people.
*throws roses at Nagify*
*laughs and lands on the ground hard*
E-mail Zath.
I just had to say that.
-Stays away from fight-
I washed my hair. I don't want blood or leaves in it.
I was wondering where you where Kai. BTW, I like that name, it sounds cool. :)
*shakes head and turns to Eve*
Slap me. I don't know if I'm hallucinating or not.
Blood is really hard to get out of clothes. Isn't it, Eve?
Well, I suppose not these clothes. They're black, they don't crease or stain, and they can't be penetrated... so, uh, yeah..
Replied.
*is still a bird*
I can talk in your minds...
*grips Zathract's hair, slams his head into my knees, makes a fist out of shadows and punches Zathract in the gut, making him fly into the lake*
That's another one of my powers...
Like the "Fart in church" comment about Nagier and Crucify, Lav?
-Fades into light particles and appears beside Lav hanging legs down and sits on branch-
*leaps up and sends shadow knives hurling towards Sparky*
Nope, I don't.
Oh, but you know it's true! They're in looooooove!
*starts fitting a white dress for Crucify*
I'll give you a size 700.
*snorts*
-Pulls Zath out of water and heals his wounds-
Go on. Keep fighting.
-Gives machine gun-
It probably won't hurt them. But, they're loud. Baddies don't like loud things.
*yells out and rolls to the side*
*screams as more pain is sent crashing into me and is unconscious by the time crashes into lake*
*slowly sinks into lake*
Oh. My bad.
-Jumps down to Sparky and heals his wounds-
I was so fed up with Zath. -Scoffs-
Keep up the good work. I don't want to get into a fight today. I might, maybe..
*smailes and faces Sparky*
You can't escape now, old friend.
*throws Mist into super dryer, then into the ununconciousifier*
Crucify, you underestimate Sparky.
*turns back*
It's funny that we're having a conversation in the middle of the fighting...
*turns into an owl*
I'M A GIRL!!!
-Is high in trees with Lav well away from fight-
*somehow regains consciousness (because I'm cool like that* and somehow flies back to the shore*
Crucify, I've had enough.
*draws daggers that also are somehow returned*
*flies to another branch on another tree*
Hah.
You underestimate me.
*steps towards Dylan, grips both his wrists and snaps them both*
*laughs as Dylan's wrists are snapped and advances on Sparky again*
I like your style, Mist.
*is somehow awesomer*
Wow. Can that happen?
*hooks Dao into the spikes in his daggers and flicks them into the air*
*sheaths Dao. catches daggers and drives them both into Zathract's chest*
Hi Flamereno. Your fiancee's creation is now in love with my boyfriends dark side.
Stop fighting.
hmm... so I'm an owl, but you can still hear my voice... that's cool.
*can't show emotion cause animals can't*
*turns back to self*
FLAME!!! :O :D
*looks at Mist's chest* Icky.
*staggers back and gasps*
*looks up at Crucify for a moment, then falls backwards and does not get back up*
now I can show emotion. :)
